In today's edition of the "Good Stuff," a Buffalo, New York, bus driver talks a woman off a bridge. CNN's Pamela Brown reports.

Surveillance video shows a woman who appears to be on the brink of suicide standing outside the railing on a narrow ledge over a highway when bus driver Darnell Barton pulled his bus full of passengers over and attempted to communicate with the woman.

When she didn't respond, he walked over and put his arm around her, gently coaxing the woman off the bridge and helping her to safety.

When Barton returned to his bus, a well deserved round of applause erupted.

He says he believes he was driving by at that moment for a reason.

"I feel like I did what I was supposed to do at the time. I'm a football guy so when you sit the bench and the coach calls your number, you gotta go in there, make a play, do what the play calls for, and I think that's what I did."

Darnell, You are an angel. May the good Lord bless you with good health, love and joy this year for allowing Him to use you on this day. You inspire me and countless others to be a better person. Thank you!

Good morning, Patrina,
We're all so happy there are people like Darrell in the world. CNN is very honored to have shared his story with others. What an amazing human being!
Happy New Day!
Warmly,

Mrs. Barton, your husband is truly a hero. I hope his simple act of "do unto others" and going in to make the play when The Coach (I mean the Big Guy Upstairs) put him in will resonate to people all of the world and remind others to do the same if and when others are in need.

You have every reason to be proud of Darnell. Give him a hug, buy him a coffee from me, please.

Mr Darnell Barton what an inspiration you are & a wonderfully caring, compassionate man. Just know that by doing what you did for this woman, you have become a hero & restoring my faith that there are still amazing human beings on this planet & the example you set for all those young people on the bus who were privileged to witness your generosity of spirt, goodwill & humanity for this lady. I live in Australia & I wanted to say "thank you". I have a great nephew who is 3yrs old – Darnell Cecil Harrigan Fisher & I hope that with the same name as you, that as he grows up he turns out to be of the same good character as you – God bless you !!

How incredible is this!! I know Darnell, we went to college together here in Buffalo. This just made my night. I work in the Mayor's office here in Buffalo and I am going to make sure that the city recognizes him for his heroic actions! #iHeartBuffalo

For me, it will be carbon monoxide in my second bathroom, farthest away from my four parakeet companions to ensure their safety, with two doors closed between us, and proper negative pressure ventilation. It will involve removal of any carbon monoxide alarms. It will involve sending postcards to four police agencies, the night of the procedure, to ensure that after it is complete, that my birds are properly taken care of, and have a happy life. It will involve making proper arrangements for my dead body, which will be donated to the UCI medical school for medical students to use, as they will. There is to be no funeral, and no prayers. There is to be no memory of my existence.

Shame on you Peter for placing such low value on your life. There are people in this world that have it tough but persevere. Suicide is a cowards way out. I have a brother in law that is dying of liver cancer and leaving behind people that love him so much. People speak of a God that is kind and merciful and yet there is this kind of injustice that people like you value your life so little that you could end it in the blink of an eye and yet He watches as a cherished man struggles to keep his life. People like you make me angry. You are not the only one in this world that suffers, that hurts. My life has been filled with alot of anguish, terror, abuse in my life and that of some members of my family and yet we go on and set an example that life can be what you make it. Hopefully, this merciful God will trade your life for someone who wants to keep it. A suicide is a selfish act, a cowards act. Anyone that contemplates this, and I have at times, need to get help to work through what hurts so that you can go on. Good luck to you in whatever decision you make. May this woman, who cried out for help, who was brave enough to ask for it in this public display, get the help she needs to go on with her life. That's the brave thing to do.

He did not tell his bosses because they probably would have written him up for delay of service. He would also have to write a incident report. What he did was heroic yes, but the system would have done everything they could to charge him. Trust me, I know. I seen it one too many times.

It is wonderful to hear positive news about someone getting involved instead of sitting back to see what happens. That woman may have felt that nobody cared about her but Darnell Barton and a bus full of people cared enough to stop and help! WAY TO GO Darnell!!!

God Bless you Mr. Barton! I have Bipolar II and have been suicidal; to know that there are men like you out in the world in this day and age bodes well for the cause of understanding mental illness as just that – an illness that is a medical issue and not a matter of character. Thank you Sir.

Amazing..people walking by her ..oblivious. Darnell your friends and family must be so proud to know you and have you in their life, I'm sure the story if just a reflection of what kind of guy he is...

I am a Canadian and gota tell you not only would I like to see him on the Bills team , I would also like to see him in person to shake his hand. Wonderful guy indeed. to the two people who just walked by without a care.... shame on you . You have a great guy Patrina. A true human being and a true hero. Thank you from Canada.

An aside to this story as reported in the Buffalo News: As he put grabbed her arm to pull her in she remarked that he smelled nice. What was he wearing? Gucci: Guilty for Men. I am going to have to go and check this smell out and will have to save my pennies to buy an ounce of it.

Darnell: I was so touched by your kindness. I agree with you... you were there for a reason and we can thank God for that. I hope the woman gets the help she needs. You, sir, have all my respect. God bless you.

Tell your brother thank you and God Bless him! What a wonderful human being he is, what a great guy! I have Bipolar II and have been suicidal and to know that there are men out there that do not judge, but act instead to save the life of a stranger brings tears to my eyes of gratitude and amazement! Thank you Mr. Barton, God Bless you sir. Kate Martin from Montana

We need lots more Darnells in this world!! KUDOS!! This is AWESOME. In the football terms he was using, I know he made the greatest save in the biggest game of all... LIFE!! Hopefully she gets all the help she needs, and go on with the rest of her life
